In version 5.x you could select the batch to start at 3 AM and then use the Customized Option to pick the days (M-F) and then the Frequency (i.e. 20 minutes). If versions 6.x and 7.x have the same scheduling options then you are in luck as it looks like you want the workflow quite from Midnight to 3 AM. Since midnight is the end of each day (or 23:59) you should be able to use the same logic. You would have had problems if you wanted to run the workflow between midnight and 3 AM as there is no way to tell informatica when to stop the workflow. If this does not work then you will need to add a filter at the begining of you workflow to evaluate the current time against a desired scheduled time. You can always build a schedule table to use to evaluate the sysdate against.

Personally, I would remove the "scheduling" from the INFA scheduler
completely. I would set a cron job to place a touch file every 20
minutes during the desired time. INFA would run continuously, looking
for the touch file, that would appear every 20 minutes during the
desired time.

I want to do automated scheduling every week I am using workflow scheduler option.. but I am unable to do so.. I did set all the options
This is how i configured
Run options- run on server initialization
Schedule option- run every days-0; hours-0; min-3
Start option- start date-10/25/06 ; start time-10:31
End option- end on -10/26/06
But the scheduler did not start… can any one help me on this..
This is urgent and any help would be appreciated.

After you build the schedule in workflow manager, you need to actually
schedule it the very first time. You need to do it manually.
There after it will take care of itself. Alternately since you have run
on server initialization option checked it would start and schedule
there after, if you bounce your server.

After doing these settings .Write click on the workflow then click on
schedule then it will work.

Hi,I have a maaping which loads from a file to table .My requirement is to schedule it every day at 10 pm.I did that using informatica Scheduler.If the source file is not there by 10 pm the work flow is failing(Error:There is no file)I need to modify my workflow in such a way that the workflow only starts if the file is there.If the file is not there by 10 pm wait till 11 pm and check once again.If the file is there then run the workflow else report an errorr.If the file arrives before 10 pm run it at 10 pm.
How can i implement in in inofmrtica

I want to schedule my workflow such that it should start at one particular time ex. 10:00:00 AM on all days except Sunday. On Sunday the workflow should start at 4:00:00 PM. Is it possible to schedule it this way using Informatica Scheduler.(The workflow itself should start at 4 PM)
Also is it possible to start the workflow using Unix (The Informatica server is on Unix) at desired time(using the PMCMD command) on Sunday.
Will this affect the scheduling for other days that has been done using Informatica Scheduler.
Could somebody help me out with this.
Thanks...

In unix we can run the workflow for a particular time & date if we write a script in unix.
In the script find if the day is sunday start the wkf at 04:00PM else start at 10:00AM.
so every day it triggers the PMCMD to awake the desired wkf at the particular time.

Hi,
If you want to do the implementation using the Informatica scheduler
only,create 2 workflows which will have the same set of jobs in both the
workflows.Schedule one workflow to run at 10:00:00 on all days except
sundays(dont select sunday in the customized edit) and schedule the other
workflow to run only on sundays at 4:00:00.
This can also be done using the shell scripts by mentioning the time and the
logics.
Thanks,
Sharath

Hey thanks for the suggestions Sharath. But having another copy of the workflow will be bit difficult... if any changge has to be made then it has to be made in both the workflows... Isn't it possible to chnage the value of the Built in variable like WORKFLOWSTARTTIME and then reflect it across the next run?

every day Informatica should start at 9AM and run for every 20 minutes and should stop at 9PM, from next day onwards it should be follwed as said.

For the aboev said required i did liek this, I went into scheduler.
1.Click run on server intialization.
2.customize option, run everyday and run every 20 minutes.
3.end option mentioned 37 times(37*20min=9PM).

For the above schedule configuration, informatica is going fine for one day, but next day it is not takiing off.

I'm sure their might be a logical solution, via the scheduler properties, but I highly suggest you dump the built-in scheduler and use an external one. The internal scheduler is awful compared to professional products. Heck, if your Informatica server is on UNIX/Linux, CRON even makes a better scheduling tool!

Using an external scheduler will save you sooooo many headaches.
